I figured heavy!! Hence I'm wanting to get rid....my issue being is ijm already ok a big trip north and wanting to courier back to Melbourne from Adelaide so rough weight needed to see what will cost!! They have to go as nobody is seating there and cars a bit too heavy...I should have done before leaving but that's not the case now...haha

Why not see if you can leave them with a forum member and pick them up on the way back

Bloody fine idea mate!!........Ill have an ask......

They are heavy And Bulky so I imagine that the freight cost would be pretty expensive, Dropping them of at a members place sounds like a great idea.
Make sure that you put the mounting bolts back after you have taken the seats out to stop dust/water ingress into the truck
You will not only lighten the load by removing the seats you will gain a massive amount of space as well and the carpet/sound proofing remains in place after the seats are removed as well.
Unfortunately I doubt that the removal of the seats will have any dramatic effect on your fuel consumption because the weight of the seats is only a small percentage of the overall weight of the truck.
I have a V8 D2a and 15/100l is my usual fuel consumption, If yours is a TD5 then there is maybe some other reason for the high fuel costs.

Im guessing the cause is the roof top tent causing wind drag that is having the biggest effect on fuel consumption not weight

I'm currently only 200km north east of Adelaide and was thinking of heading down towards port Augusta so Adelaide isn't too far off the track......baby sitting of the seats would be very much appreciated if that's an option....
